A Great Company With An Excellent Team & Excellent Products

Business Outlook

Pros

The people at ifm are at the heart of why this is such a great place to work. My coworkers are positive thinkers, willing to help, and provide constructive criticism when needed. Our upper management is extremely approachable- all the way from our German ownership, to our CEO, VPs, Directors, and Regional/Branch managers. The product line is constantly being developed and is high quality which allows us to remain relative & competitive in the industry. It is a company that truly cares about its employees and customers. I've been with the company through a few tough economic times and have always been confident that I have secure employment due to the processes and decisions they have made.

Cons

Flat organization with little to no room for moving up the chain.

Pros

Teammates that work well together were very helpful. Had a great immediate team and enjoyed helping on so many extra projects.

Cons

Flat organization so regardless of the extra projects taken on, you’re only expected to do the minimum. If someone had an opinion of you for whatever reason, good luck. It gets petty and becomes a witch hunt.

Good company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, treats employees well, extensive training program, friendly culture and recently relaxed the dress code. Impressed with how ifm is handling the Covid situation. Changes have been made to the building. It is July and, very slowly, people are returning to work. When they do, everything is spaced more than required. The USA CEO and the owner from Germany have been communicating with all employees and I found the weekly emails very informative. There is a mix of race and religions. Anyone wishing to present an idea will be heard.

Cons

One con is that some managers are flexible; some are not. This is a hot topic amongst all employees since it is so obvious, especially those managers that allow their employees to work from home or have flexible hours. You can talk a good talk and get what you want (although we can all have a reason to work from home; but managers like some reasons/people more than others). It is noticeable and unfair; employees are frustrated.
